IVF#5 July 2010 - will be using estrogen priming
FET October 6, 2010 - this is it
BFP October 22!!!! Beta 2093
November 8 - we're having twins:) Wow!!!
Babies due June 26, 2011
February 7 - lost our little twin, Baby B had no heartbeat at 20 weeks

After seven long years consumed by infertility I am finally moving forward, wishing my son was with me, but grateful for the two children I have here with me.
I credit the advice I received on this forum both from members and from experts, my infertility doctor and my push for the estrogen priming protocol for the family that I have today.

Dr. Ma,
What tests do you do in the case of a m/c if the tissue is collected?

Hi Dr. Ma,
When the cord blood is collected is it immediately after the birth, or is there a delay? I have heard that it can be beneficial to the baby for the cord blood to be allowed to pulsate for a while after birth before it is clamped and cut. Is this the case?

Hi Dr. Ma,
My husband emailed you back in May to say that we were interested in participating in your study. Before we finalize our choice I'd like to know if you are still interested if we are going to bank our baby's stem cells. We have made the decision to do so since my husband is now a Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma survivor and this baby was diagnosed at 17 weeks pregnancy with hydronephrosis of her left kidney.
Please le me know.

My wife is currently 5w4d pregnant from IVS/ICSI and donor sperm.
We would be interested in participating in the study. We are located in Toronto.
Could you please send us the information on how to become involved? Thank you.
Also, would we be able to participate if we used a midwife?

Hi Dr. Sai Ma,
We just found out today that we are expecting twins again from IVF w/ ICSI. Our first IVF w/ ICSI blessed us with our twin daugters. Does this impact my inclusion in the study?
